I agree that capitalism is not at its structural limit, I imagine within the next 50 years ideological descriptions of resource management (capitalism, communism, syndicalism, etc.) will begin disappearing in favor of something like "Keep feeding the replicators." The human and environmental costs of competing economic ideologies don't have much tangible payoff, and discussions of capital are illusory compared to real measures of human happiness. If a guy was like "I can't grow grain here but with a small material surplus the people here can live happily and have families and exhaust the local mineral reserve for whomever needs it," at least to me the answer would be, "Provide them with a small material surplus." I program computers but would have to take a pay cut and assume large debts, etc., to begin operating a fruit orchard and wood mill. I might become happier, but the economic value of that decision and whether or not I would survive it economically is unclear. However, this seems to have nothing to do with economic systems, at least to me.
